Answer:

D.

Explanation:

  • so first we'll write the exponential form which is: 3²ˣ⁻¹⁶=3⁴ˣ⁻¹²
  • since we got the same bases the exponents can now be written as equals: 2x-16=4x-12
  • Switch the numbers around to get the x's on one side and the numbers on the other side: 2x-4x=-12+16
  • Add/subtract the values: -2x=4
  • divide by -2 to get x by itself: -
    (-2x)/(-2) =
    (4)/(-2)
  • that should leave you with option D: x=-2
